At a glance

Overall sentiment is strongly positive: customers find the skid plates/guards sturdy, well-designed, and a worthwhile upgrade over factory fiber/plastic panels, with generally straightforward installs. The most common complaints involve missing/opened packaging hardware, a few fitment/hole issues, and instructions that could be clearer (often needing the video).

What Customers Liked

Described as thick, beefy, rock-solid, heavy duty; provides peace of mind (oil pan/transmission pan/fuel filter/catalytic converter protection) and holds up to rough terrain/rock impacts.
Fits great/bolts right up/perfect fit on various Ford trucks (F-150/F-250/F-350); nice design and good welds; looks awesome; replaces flimsy factory fiberboard/"paper diaper" panels.
Many report easy/straightforward driveway install in ~45–60+ minutes; parts/hardware bags labeled; hardware quality praised; clear instructions for some.
Oil drain/filter access noted as adequate/large enough by some, making future service easy.
Prompt shipping noted by a few; helpful in selecting correct skid plate.

Things to Consider

Directions criticized for lacking tool list, poor order of operations, unclear diagrams; several said a video is needed/was very helpful; steps like rubber bumper insertion should occur before tightening.
Some packages arrived opened with missing front hardware; occasional need for extra washer; T-bolt/self-threading screw can be finicky to catch.
Occasional undrilled/unpunched hole; one bolt hole needed enlarging; front bolts can be tricky to access; one user had to cut material to allow oil filter to pass through factory hole.
Plate can vibrate against cross member without an additional rubber bumper on driver side; user added rubber to resolve.

Catalytic Converter Guard

Was pretty easy install on my 2021 F250, except the self threading screw took a while to catch but got it done fairly quickly.

Ford F350 Catalytic Converter Shield

The Shield for my 2020 F350 Diesel looks to be very solid and sturdy. I wanted some “peace of mind” due to the increase of catalytic converter thefts. This product appears to fit the bill.

Catalytic converter covers

Couldn’t install the front cover yet as the package was delivered opened and front hardware missing , had to go to gather up parts in my shop along with a tap to put the front on Wednesday. Nice product.
